"Today, the packet filter PF was merged with the bandwidth control system AltQ to form a new PF that can limit bandwidth and do all kinds of fancy stuff. Still no documentation for it, but it is in the -current tree. Very cool stuffNote that, as stated in the CVS commit message, it's still pretty experimental and poorly documented. However, this is a lot closer to the integration of PF and altq some of us have been wishing for. Now we need better altq docs.Checkin: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=103765983111026&w=2 "

If you need PF+AltQ on hardware that OpenBSD and MicroBSD don't support, go for NetBSD (PF has been ported) .

And this is a feature, it should've been: "We don't do YOUR features!" (Typo)
Then again. Nice meeting you again at the Con ;)

Out of curiosity, what features/functionality did you ask for?

So, pretty much every OS on the planet can put an otherwise idle hard drive into standby, except OpenBSD. Nice to know that it's not a bug, but a feature.

I had a workstation runing Linux, which I set to spindown the hard drive after 15 minutes of no use. The hard drive would remain in standby for hours at a time. Obviously that *is* saving power, reducing heat, etc. I've done the same on Windows, Mac, etc.
It is a bug IMHO. If you have a command that spins down the hard drive, it *should* also send whatever signals required to tell the OS not to continually read it, needlessly.
You're right, OpenBSD does assume the disks are always available. You don't seem to see that it is causing a problem/conflict.
